I mean, if in 80 years Tesla is called Cybertruck (the company set up to make Volkswagens was not called Volkswagen, and produced effectively zero civilian cars in its Nazi era), has been appropriated from its previous owners, who went to prison or worse, is a separate legal entity, and shares no principals with the original company, then you might have a point.

Ford is a closer comparison, but even there, Henry Ford was no longer really involved in the company when he went really publicly off the rails (he'd handed it over to his son by then). There's not much precedent for Tesla's situation, where the _current_ leadership is being publicly insane.
